The AMFAR Gala Red Carpet: So Many Plunging Necklines, Cutouts, and Skimpy Looks

Come for the style, stay for the substance. The annual amfAR Gala during the Cannes Film Festival may have plenty of high-octane red carpet outfits, but don’t forget that the charity event raises over $10 million each year towards its goal of ending the AIDS epidemic. The money raised is used for HIV/AIDS research, prevention, treatments, education, and advocacy. 

Sponsored by Clase Azul, the 2022 amfAR Gala had plenty of amazing red carpet looks. Take, for instance, Nina Dobrev and Shaun White. Dobrev’s Mônot gown was simply striking thanks to the cutout detail, the dramatic single sleeve, and the fire-engine red color. Cutouts were certainly a popular trend this evening, with Ciara and Cindy Bruna also getting in on the action. Scroll down to see the best celebrity red carpet looks from the event.
